Atlanta Falcons face pivotal roster decisions as Jack Strand’s preseason surge sparks debate over the QB3 spot. Can the “people’s quarterback” edge out Cooper Rush, or will roster gymnastics leave Strand exposed to waivers? Aaron Freeman offers his final 53-man roster projection, spotlighting back-end battles at running back, wide receiver, linebacker, cornerback, and offensive line, while also forecasting key additions and practice squad selections. Joining the show, Matt Waldman (Rookie Scouting Portfolio) breaks down Zachariah Branch’s electrifying training camp and what it’ll take for him to become a regular-season standout. From hands-catching concerns to route precision, the discussion digs into Branch’s upside. Can he evolve from a Taylor Gabriel-type role player to a true offensive weapon like Jordan Addison? Get expert insights on Atlanta’s evolving roster, special teams decisions, and what to watch ahead of cutdown day. #atlantafalcons #nfl #trainingcamp #nflpreseason #miamidolphins #jackstrand #zachariahbranch #cooperrush #tuatagovailoa #cashjones #jdbertrand #joshwoods #clarkphillips #53manroster Photo Credit: Robert Goddin - Imagn Images Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-falcons/ Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nfl Become a Locked On Falcons Insider for in-depth analysis every day! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonfalcons Join our Discord server! https://discord.gg/lockedonfalcons Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
